Gangster August “Augie” Kolodney is eating alone at an Italian restaurant. Not only is he eating alone, but there are no other customers. He calls over the waiter, Blockman, who is clearly nervous but simply claims that it’s a slow night and the regular waiter is home sick. Augie tells Blockman to go check on a car parked outside and get the license plates. The waiter returns and gives him the last three numbers, and Augie recognizes it. He gives Blockman $200 for his kids because their father is a dummy, and Blockman thanks him by name. Augie approaches him and demands to know how he knew his name, and why he was turning away customers to keep Augie alone. The two men burst in and open fire on Augie, wounding him in the shoulder. His driver leaves without him and Augie manages to get away on foot...Read the full recap
Episode Quotes
Host: Good evening. As the resident custodian of this museum, I bid yo welcome. And offer you the felicitations of our entire staff... most of whom are out and about at the moment, since they tend to be night people. Our artists and artisans take a rather pardonable pride in their work that you see hanging here. An example is this item here. It's called Rare Objects, and represents that potpourri of collector's items that some men are prone to acquire. But there are collector's items... and collector's items. Offered to you now, an excursion into the very strange, tonight's offering in the Night Gallery.
Dr. Glendon: But let us start on a note of mutual trust, shall we? I asked you your occupation.
Augie Kolodney: And I told you.
Dr. Glendon: You told me a half-truth. And a half-truth, Mr. Kolodney, is also a half-lie. You dabble in investments, but you're not an investor.
Augie Kolodney: You--you put a tag on me, doctor.
Dr. Glendon: I think we can place you, generically, in the category of racketeer.
Augie Kolodney: And I told you.

Augie Kolodney: (after being told Dr. Glendon's price): You come high, doctor. After all, I'm just an average, hard-working hood.
Augie Kolodney: How do you know these things? How do you know this stuff?!?
Dr. Glendon: I make it my business to know all this stuff. I have to know everything about a client, from the odds on his longevity to his collar size.
Dr. Glendon: I make it my business to know all this stuff. I have to know everything about a client, from the odds on his longevity to his collar size.
Dr. Glendon: The odds on your survival shrink with each passing day. I say, will you be a live client on Friday? Or just a dead fromer prospect?
